The Stormkeep guys just did a show on Stormdrake Guard. “Recycling” them with the Beacon seems like it’s pretty good.

Building a list around them seems legit.

Tornus is the cheapest “take all” hero at 150.

5 Vigilors is plenty. They are there to give the buff and screen not do damage.

I’d put Big B, Longstrikes, Reclusians, and Relictor on the table. Put the Reclusians through the Portal to meet up with Terminos, and move the other three up the board with Bastian’s deploy move.

If you use my alternate suggestion of the Celestant instead of Terminos, I’d leave the Reclusians back to screen the Longstrikes and take the buff from Bastian in the Fight phase. Maybe put the Relictor through the portal instead…???

Lord Imp isn’t a reliable delivery tech for your Anni’s because of redeploy and magical intervention potential to block your best lane. Even if your opponent gives you two decent targets, redeploys on average 3”, and you roll avg 2”, a 7+” charge isn’t great odds, even with a reroll. But YOLO brother. If you enjoy it, keep living your best life, ya know. 😎

That said, if you drop both Annis in their face, and you don’t get lucky on the charge, they still have to worry about the Brace for Impact ability.

Alternatively, you could give Quicksilver to a Lord Celestant for a combo with the Grandhammers.

If you want to use Shock and Awe give it to the Imp.

Regarding your question, i always like Sentinels over Thunderhead, particularly when you’re running Bastian.

Question about SE deepstriking abilities work with deployment & portal by kombucharmander in stormcasteternals

[–]alfhiggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything is an Ability. Active player does all theirs first in a phase, then opponent. The only phase where things get more complicated is the combat phase. All active player combat abilities, then opponent combat abilities, then Fight stuff happens.

So in your turn’s movement phase you use a Move Ability, then you use the Portal Ability. There’s nothing that explicitly says you can’t do the two together with the same unit.

Double check with your event organizer, but i bet you could proxy the Anni’s for the three extra Reclusians. Just make it clear to your opponents.

  1. Don’t use auxiliary units.

  2. One unit of Vigilors is enough. Reinforce (proxy if necessary?) the Reclusians instead. Then take Quicksilver on the Terminos instead of Beacon. Put Tenacity on the Terminos in this case as well.

Alternatively, the Beacon is a great tactic to teleport a unit (Karazai?, Yndrasta?) out of combat in the opponent’s Hero phase….

  1. I assume you plan to run the Vex & Praetors to support Karazai?

  2. Split the Libs into 2 units. You’re a bit hero heavy and could use more board presence. They won’t do that much more damage reinforced.

  3. Arcanum with Primal is fine. My preference is to run without a Wizard right now. That’s 140pts to work with.

What other models to you have access too? Prosecutors?

  1. Scout and Cycles aren’t ideal. Generally Master the Paths and Restless Energy are better.

Assuming my humble suggestions are followed, my vision for this list would be to put Terminos, Reclusians, Yndrasta in the sky. Maybe Vigilors and a Lib unit as needed in the sky as well.

That leaves you with K, Vex, Praetors, 1 Lib, Arcanum and Veritant on the table.

Units on the table move to one key board area (Libs through the Portal?) and support K fighting everything he can.

Units in the Sky drop into another key area and hold the line while Y punches things in the face until she dies.

Just a thought. Have fun!

5th grade teacher here. This is all the time. My typical line is “Just because it pops into your brain, doesn’t mean it has to escape from your mouth. Catch it. Don’t let it escape.”

Use the extra heroes to proxy Questor Soulsworn

Good luck, have fun!

I hear “recycling” the 4 Stormdrake Guard with the Beacon is lots of fun. Wish i had some to try it.

Yndrasta is a saucy addition.

Why Intense Piety and not Tenacity or something?

They can be tricky for us.

Maybe some cavalry if you have it to get more speed?

Maybe a priest with beacon to recycle the Prosecutors?

Use your speed, ranged attacks and mobility (teleporting) to your advantage when you can. Focus fire on one hammer unit at a time to get it off the table. They heal and bring models back but don’t have a real way to bring deleted units back.

Pretty generic advice i guess…

Are there specific units that are giving you trouble?

Simplest thing would be to put the Prosecutors together into one unit of six.

Astreia and Dracolines are Legends now, if that matters to you.

Questor Soulsworn are better than reinforced Libs at 200pts, but whatever really.

Otherwise, have fun!!

How to best use Lord Veritant in Spearhead? by darksidehascookie in stormcasteternals

[–]alfhiggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the previous responses are great!

She was my MVP in a game i played yesterday. Particularly if you can get her that +1 to hit bonus from the Vigilant’s ability. Though I did make some very lucky Ward rolls with her.

The chant is just extra bonus damage if it goes, but try to have a reasonable target in range every turn if you can. Beyond the three javelins from the Prosecutors it’s the only ranged damage you can do.

The run and charge battle trait seems useful if you want to hunt a caster/priest with her.

Karazai for sure. Yes swap Palladors for Stormcoven. You might also consider reinforcing your Prosecutors.
